Going beyond the usual registration drives, educational institutions and resident welfare associations (RWA) in Bengaluru have planned multiple events and programmes to fight urban apathy when it comes to voting ahead of the Lok Sabha elections on April 26.
This year, universities are holding conferences, street plays, and other activities like debate competitions to encourage students, many of whom are first timers, to cast their votes.
“Our voters’ registration drive on the campus was a huge success as we had many enrollments. We are also holding panel discussions and talks for students on the importance of voting, and how the democratic process in the country works considering the fact that we are one of the largest democratic countries in the world,” said Kiran Jeevan, Public Relations Officer, St. Joseph’s University.
